Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Zhao Gang, who was left to guard the base, immediately chimed in after Ding Wei finished speaking: "Old Kong and Old Ding's considerations are very thorough. We do need to be more aggressive now."

"Just as the college students and we analyzed the international situation before, only by driving out the Japanese can we gain a higher international standing."

"The mountains we rely on will crumble, and the only one we can truly depend on is ourselves. We launched the counter-offensive on March 1, 1943, and there must be no change in that decision."

"Within a year, we must take over the entire Northeast and integrate the support from the entire Northeast. Before May 1, 1944, we must directly march out of Shanhaiguan and wipe out the Japanese North China Area Army and Central China Area Army."

"At the same time, we must also deploy a force to continue fighting northward and recover the territory that was occupied by the Japanese devils."

"As for the combat supplies needed for this operation, there is absolutely no need for you to worry. I, Zhao Gang, have already made preparations in advance."

"The fifth phase of the arsenal's expansion has begun and is expected to be completed within three months. At that time, the output of our various weapons and ammunition will at least double again."

"In addition, the torpedo attack aircraft that college students have just designed has also entered the trial production stage."

"After the test flight, once it meets the mass production standards, it will be put into mass production immediately. At that time, we will have a powerful weapon to counter the Japanese navy."

"I am willing to make a solemn pledge to everyone to ensure that the production capacity of torpedo attack aircraft after mass production is no less than 100 per month."

"As for the food crisis that used to plague our base area, it has now been completely resolved. The base area now has more than 1200 agricultural machines, which can directly increase our cultivated land area by more than ten times without any problem."

"The hundreds of construction machines that remain will also be used to dig ditches to ensure that irrigation of farmland is not affected by drought, so as to feed more people."

After hearing Zhao Gang rattle off the current state of the base area in great detail, Li Yunlong excitedly slammed his fist on the table and laughed heartily, "Old Zhao, you son of a bitch, you really did give me a yawn, you scared me half to death!"

"I, Li Yunlong, have always been quite bold. The reason I'm being a bit conservative this time isn't because I'm afraid, but because I have more tricks up my sleeve. I can no longer be like someone who's barefoot and not afraid of someone wearing shoes."

"The Zhao Jiayu base area was hard-won, especially the military industry we established, which is directly related to the national defense of the entire country."

"Even if the main force of the counterattack has problems, our base cannot have the slightest problem. As long as we have a base, even if we suffer the slightest setback, I, Old Li, will not be afraid in the slightest."

“I have no objection to the simultaneous attack of three armies, but we cannot deploy all our main forces. We must retain a force to ensure the safety of our base.”

"My suggestion is to exchange six garrison regiments for six main force regiments to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the garrison forces and ensure that our arsenal does not have any problems."

Everyone present felt that Li Yunlong's suggestion was very reasonable. After all, the situation on the battlefield could change in an instant, and no one could guarantee that the counterattack would be successful.

It's always good to have a backup plan. Even if the counterattack suffers a major setback, with the help of the arsenal, the strength of the troops can be quickly restored in a short time!
